Just in case you were wondering, this new jam from German DJ/producer/label head Mathias Modica (a.k.a. Munk) isn’t an Italian cover of Madonna’s decade-starting return to the spotlight, “Music,” though it certainly shares the same energetic dancefloor-ready vibes. We’re not sure why songs simply about music are so often such upbeat dance tunes, but regardless, we’re sold on Munk’s addition to that list. “La Musica” starts with a dark piano and bass melody backed by a solid four-on-the-floor beat and a bit of vocal help before things elevate a bit in mood with the introduction of a luminous wash of rave synths. Eventually, all of the sounds coalesce into a busy club tune that we prefer over the aforementioned diva’s single. You can hear what other music Munk has to offer when he drops his five-song Mondo Vagabondo EP on October 18 through his own Gomma label.
